Could be that the temporary housing for construction workers transitions into detainment. Having an AI data canter close to a detainment facility streamlines security. Will the whole facility run on diesel and StarLink? Independent of the s

Feels very accelerationist. Whomever is advising Hegseth properly identified risks to funding as a soft underbelly. By using it for target acquisition, even against the contractual terms, Claude is now a munition. OpenAI by extension. So, t

Less, actually. Lockheed Martin made 620 MSE last year.

You could make it a little more convincing: 1. An uncertain Pacific launch seemed like a weak point. Instead, an arctic launch. Because volcanology studies things like CO2, maybe we fired the climate scientists who could tell whether a ther

My experience is that wargaming has a decent track record. In hindsight, Nimitz looks much more prepared than MacArthur, even if their early careers suggest the opposite.

It was a convenient misunderstanding about a call to the Palm Beach Sheriff. The FBI has a recording of the call, but probably ambiently from the Sheriff’s side. It’s a small ray of innocence for a guy like Trump. And he forgot all about it

It was inevitable for the mainstream media to connect Musk with the pressure campaign on Anthropic. Among people who use the English language professionally, the sloppy redefinition of “woke” raised a lot of red flags. It was never sharp, j

ICE played an important role in those cases with long supply chains. Seems quaint now, but I think we should acknowledge any criminal who does not participate in a child abuse ring. Those counterfeit DVDs were not illegal content, just ille

If you like ribbonfarm, the comment section in his follow up is worth reading: https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2009/12/13/random-promotions-and-... I wouldn’t be surprised if research like Cornell’s was inspired t

Oh, the staffers representing the government in court will blithely use Claude for a few days before they realize why they shouldn’t.

I don’t see evidence for that. She expressed ambition to run for President. That threatened the secretive succession plan around Trump.

My understanding is that Trump in early 2025 pushed all procurement toward GSA. For Noem to demand spending authority seemed prone to self-dealing.

Secondary title was attempted by an executive order. It demands recognition, but the law hasn’t caught up.

I think this is supported. Hegseth has said numerous things about curly hair. I read that his reaction to Dario started with his hair.

We must conclude that they’re wary of Grok. Maybe it’s the incentive for bias and sabotage.

We’re going to have to put more confidence into testing like this and Consumer Reports. For example, what if a product is contaminated with glyphosate? One-time supporters of RFK Jr would expect a recall, but I wouldn’t bet on today’s RFK J

Really sounds like Article 4 instead. If the characteristics last September didn’t reach Article 5 then this would need a different formula… Back in September, the incursion was a Russian probe for an attack in Eastern Europe. It was to Tru

The Whig party was our experiment with partisan coalitions. And we got to see what breaks up a party, and what a party can survive. It’d be fascinating to present modern Americans with their options during the Second Party System, renamed.

It’s been “not a war” for so long, and we don’t have a good word for it. “Grey zone”, “hybrid war”, in Zoroastrian terms these are druj-heavy. Trump himself chooses druj. But the force of good benefits from not using the word “war”. Trump h

The announcement hasn't worked through official legal channels, but Anthropic is taking it seriously. The official channel will be a written explanation to Congress, and could be classified. Hegseth objected to guardrails being "w

I don't get the downvotes or replies. The answer has nothing to do with ethics. AI is the only thing propping up Trump's stock market.

Or, Hegseth revved up an internal govt model and found it just as woke as Anthropic.
